Our very own E.Jean Carroll proving “a woman is never too old to get even”

Above the paywall today: E.Jean Carroll. Miranda July. Sex, power, mayhem and midlife. Summer reading recs. Loss, sisterhood and learning to define what’s sacred to you.

Below the paywall today: Bumper Barbara Kingsolver book giveaway. How to change your working life. The radical power of not reacting. Should you be single-tasking? HRT, SJP and a new story by Deborah Levy inspired by Mrs Dalloway. Plus the scandalous, stylish new TV series to stream now.
